Description

Motor

Technical Field

Embodiments relate to a motor.

Background

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into rotational energy using the forces experienced by conductors in a magnetic field. Recently, as the use of motors increases, the role of the motors becomes more important. In particular, as electric devices in vehicles rapidly increase, demands for motors applied to steering systems, braking systems, design systems, and the like significantly increase.

Generally, a motor includes a shaft formed to be rotatable, a rotor coupled to the shaft, and a stator fixed inside a housing in which the stator is installed along a circumference of the rotor with a gap therebetween. Further, a coil configured to form a rotating magnetic field is wound on the stator so as to cause electrical interaction with the rotor and cause rotation of the rotor. When the rotor rotates, the shaft rotates and generates a driving force.

Further, a bus bar electrically connected to the coil is provided at the top end of the stator. The bus bar generally includes an annular bus bar housing and a bus bar terminal coupled to the bus bar housing and connected to the coil. In general, in a bus bar, a bus bar terminal is formed by pressing a metal plate such as a copper plate.

Meanwhile, the sealing performance of the motor depends on the cover and the housing coupled to form the outside of the motor. Here, the central aperture may be removed from the housing to meet protection class (IP) specifications for the seal.

However, the following problems occur: the bearings are damaged during the process of assembling the rotor inside the stator provided in the housing having no central hole.

Next, the above-described damage to the bearing will be described with reference to fig. 1.

Fig. 1 is a view illustrating the assembly of a rotor-cover assembly.

Referring to fig. 1, a rotor-cover assembly is assembled in a housing 20 in which a stator 10 is disposed.

The rotor-cover assembly may include a cover 30, a shaft 40 disposed in the center of the cover 30, a rotor 50 disposed outside the shaft 40, and a bearing 60 disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft 40.

Here, the bearing 60 may include an upper bearing 61 provided on an upper portion of the shaft 40 and a lower bearing 62 provided on a lower portion of the shaft 40, depending on the position. As shown in fig. 1, the upper bearing 61 may be supported by the cover 30.

However, when the rotor-cover assembly is assembled in the housing 20 in which the stator 10 is provided, a phenomenon in which the lower bearing 62 of the rotor-cover assembly collides with the protrusion 21 of the housing 20 occurs due to attraction between the magnetized rotor 50 and the stator 10. Therefore, there is a problem in that the lower bearing 62 is damaged.

Further, in the structure of the motor, the length of the housing of the motor in the axial direction may be limited or reduced according to the requirements of customers. Therefore, since there is a limit to the design regarding the size of the motor, there is a need for a motor having satisfactory performance and reduced axial direction size.

Advantageous effects

The motor including the above-described components according to the embodiments can prevent the bearing from being damaged and ensure sealing performance when the rotor is mounted inside the stator.

For this purpose, in the motor, the rotor may be mounted in the housing using a groove formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cover without damaging the bearing.

Here, by eliminating the hole at the bottom surface of the housing, the sealing performance of the motor can be improved.

Further, since the holes are eliminated without the need to apply an additional sealing member, the motor can be efficiently manufactured during mass production. That is, although the curing time of the sealing member is necessary when the sealing member is applied, since the process of applying the sealing member can be omitted, the motor productivity can be improved.

In the motor including the above-described components according to the embodiment, the position of the groove formed in the cover and the position of the groove formed in the bus bar may be used to determine the assembly position of the cover.

Further, when the cover is coupled to the housing, the size of the motor in the axial direction can be reduced by using the second groove of the cover.

Further, in the motor, in order to allow a fixing device such as a jig to hold the cover, the rotor may be mounted inside the housing using a third groove formed in an outer circumferential surface of the cover without damaging the lower bearing. Here, by eliminating a conventional hole formed in the bottom surface of the housing, the sealing performance of the motor can be improved.

Further, since the hole is removed from the housing, an additional sealing member is not required to be applied, and thus productivity of the motor can be improved. That is, although the curing time of the sealing member is necessary when the sealing member is applied, since the process of applying the sealing member can be omitted from the motor, the motor productivity can be improved.

Various advantageous effects of the embodiments are not limited thereto, and will be easily understood throughout the detailed description of the embodiments.

Embodiment 1

Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a motor according to an embodiment, and fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the motor according to the first embodiment, taken along line A-A of fig. 2. Here, the x-direction shown in fig. 3 represents a radial direction, and the y-direction represents an axial direction.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a motor 1 according to the first embodiment may include a cover 100, a housing 200 disposed under the cover 100, a stator 300 disposed inside the housing 200, a rotor 400 disposed inside the stator 300, a shaft 500 rotating together with the rotor 400, a bus bar 600 disposed above the stator 300, and a bearing 700 disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft 500. Here, the bearing 700 may include an upper bearing 710 disposed on an upper portion of the shaft 500 and a lower bearing 720 disposed on a lower portion of the shaft 500, depending on the position.

The cover 100 and the housing 200 may form the exterior of the motor 1. Here, the case 200 may be formed to have a cylindrical shape with an opening on the top.

Accordingly, an accommodating space may be formed in the cover 100 and the case 200 by coupling between the cover 100 and the case 200. Further, as shown in fig. 3, a stator 300, a rotor 400, a shaft 500, and the like may be disposed in the accommodation space.

The cover 100 may be disposed on an opening surface of the case 200, i.e., over the case 200, to cover the opening of the case 200.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a cover of a motor according to a first embodiment, fig. 5 is a side view illustrating the cover of the motor according to the first embodiment, fig. 6 is a bottom view illustrating the cover of the motor according to the first embodiment, and fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 4.

Referring to fig. 4 and 7, the cover 100 may include a plate-shaped cover part 110 and a sidewall 120 extending from the cover part 110 in an axial direction. Here, the cover plate portion 110 and the sidewall 120 may be integrally formed.

The cover part 110 may be formed to have a plate shape.

In the cover plate portion 110, a first hole 111 formed in the center and a plurality of second holes 112 may be formed. Further, the cover plate portion 110 may include a first pocket portion P1 formed such that a central portion is recessed downward. Here, the first pocket portion P1 may be referred to as a cover pocket portion.

The shaft 500 may be disposed within the first bore 111. Here, the upper bearing 710 may be disposed on an upper portion of the shaft 500 and in the first pocket portion P1. Accordingly, the cover plate portion 110 may support the upper bearing 710.

The terminals of the bus bar 600 may be disposed within the second holes 112. As shown in fig. 4, three second holes 112 may be formed in the cover portion 110.

Meanwhile, the cover plate portion 110 may further include first grooves 113 arranged collinearly in the radial direction. The first grooves 113 are arranged to face each other based on the center C, and the first grooves 113 may serve as elements for determining the position of the cover plate portion 110.

The sidewall 120 may protrude downward from the bottom surface of the cap plate portion 110. For example, the side wall 120 may protrude downward from an edge of the cover plate portion 110. Here, the sidewall 120 may be formed to have a cylindrical shape.

In order to allow a fixing means such as a jig to hold the cover 100, a groove 122 may be formed in the sidewall 120. Thus, the ends of the clip may be disposed in the grooves 122 such that the clip may press against the cover 100.

At least three grooves 122 may be concavely formed in the outer circumferential surface 121 of the sidewall 120. The at least three grooves 122 may be arranged at preset intervals to prevent horizontal movement of the cover 100, but the number of grooves 122 is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 6, four grooves 122 may be arranged. Here, the grooves 122 may be arranged to be rotationally symmetrical based on the center C of the cover 100.

That is, since the grooves 122 are arranged on the same level, the grooves 122 may be arranged to be rotationally symmetrical based on the center C of the cover 100. Thus, the securing means prevents horizontal movement of the cover 100 by means of a certain level of force applied to the outer circumferential surface 121 of the cover 100 through the groove 122.

Referring to fig. 7, the groove 122 may be disposed to be spaced apart from the end of the sidewall 120 by a certain first distance d1. Further, the grooves 122 may be arranged to be spaced apart from corners where the cover plate portion 110 and the side walls 120 meet by a certain second distance d2.

Here, the first distance d1 is greater than the second distance d2. Accordingly, the cover 100 can secure rigidity corresponding to the force applied to the groove 122. For example, most of the force applied to the cover 100 by the fixing means is supported by the cover plate portion 110.

The groove 122 may be formed by pressurizing one region of the sidewall 120 in a radial direction. Here, the first protrusion 124 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface 123 of the sidewall 120 due to the applied pressure.

The first protrusion 124 may be formed to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface 123 of the sidewall 120.

As shown in fig. 7, the inner surface 124a of the first protrusion 124 may be formed to be inclined at an angle θ based on the axial direction. Here, the inner surface 124a of the first protrusion 124 may be formed to be inclined upward. Accordingly, one surface of the groove 122 may also be formed to be inclined upward. Thus, the force applied to the groove 122 by the securing means may be further directed towards the cover plate portion 110.

The case 200 is disposed under the cover 100.

Here, the case 200 may be formed to have a cylindrical shape. Further, the housing 200 may house therein the stator 300, the rotor 400, and the like. Here, various modifications may be made to the shape or material of the case 200. For example, the case 200 may be formed of a metal material that can well withstand high temperatures.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a housing of a motor according to the first embodiment, and fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a housing of a motor according to the first embodiment.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the housing 200 may include a housing plate portion 210 and a sidewall portion 220 extending upward from the housing plate portion 210.

The case plate portion 210 may include a plate-shaped body 211 and a ridge portion 212 formed by a portion protruding from the body 211.

The raised portion 212 may have an annular shape when viewed from above. Here, the ridge portion 212 may be formed by pressing the bottom of the body 211. As shown in fig. 9, the case plate portion 210 may be formed to have an uneven shape due to the raised portion 212.

Since the bulge portion 212 is arranged to be spaced apart from the center C of the body 211 in the radial direction, the second pocket portion P2 may be formed inside the bulge portion 212. The second pocket portion P2 may be referred to herein as a housing pocket portion.

Further, the lower bearing 720 may be accommodated in the second pocket portion P2. Here, a gasket may be provided under the lower bearing 720.

As shown in fig. 9, the raised portion 212 may include a curved surface 212a formed with a curvature of 1/R. Here, the curved surface 212a may be formed at an inner corner of the ridge portion 212.

When the lower bearing 720 is inserted into the second pocket portion P2, the curved surface 212a may guide the insertion of the lower bearing 720. Accordingly, curved surface 212a may minimize the impact caused by the collision with lower bearing 720.

The sidewall portion 220 may extend in an axial direction from a top surface of the housing plate portion 210. Here, the sidewall portion 220 may protrude upward from an edge of the case plate portion 210.

Meanwhile, the sidewall portion 220 may be formed thereon with a second protrusion 221 protruding inward. For example, the second protrusion 221 may be formed to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface 222 of the sidewall portion 220.

Here, the second protrusions 221 may be arranged at preset intervals along the circumferential direction. Accordingly, the top surface 221a of the second protrusion 221 supports the end of the sidewall 120 forming the cover 100. In detail, the top surface 221a of the second protrusion 221 contacts the bottom surface of the end of the sidewall 120. Accordingly, the top surface 221a of the second protrusion 221 performs a function of position guide to mount the cover 100 at a preset position.

The second protrusion 221 may be formed by pressing one region of the sidewall portion 220 in the radial direction. For example, the second protrusion 221 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface 222 of the sidewall portion 220 due to the applied pressure.

The stator 300 may be supported by an inner circumferential surface of the housing 200. Further, the stator 300 is disposed outside the rotor 400. That is, the rotor 400 may be disposed inside the stator 300.

Referring to fig. 3, the stator 300 may include a stator core 310, a coil 320 wound on the stator core 310, and an insulator 330 disposed between the stator core 310 and the coil 320. Here, the coil 320 may be a wire whose outer circumferential surface is coated.

The coil 320 forming the rotating magnetic field may be wound on the stator core 310. Here, the stator core 310 may be formed as one core or by coupling a plurality of divided cores.

The stator core 310 may include a plurality of plates having a thin steel plate shape and stacked one on top of another, but is not limited thereto. For example, the stator core 310 may be formed as a single article.

The stator core 310 may include a cylindrical yoke (not shown) and a plurality of teeth (not shown).

Here, the teeth may be arranged to protrude from the yoke in the radial direction (x direction) based on the center C of the stator core 310. Further, the plurality of teeth may be arranged to be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the yoke. Thus, slots may be formed between the teeth.

Meanwhile, the teeth may be arranged to face the magnets of the rotor 400. Further, a coil 320 is wound on each of the teeth.

The insulator 330 insulates the stator core 310 from the coil 320. Accordingly, the insulator 330 may be disposed between the stator core 310 and the coil 320.

Accordingly, the coil 320 may be wound on the stator core 310 on which the insulator 330 is disposed.

Meanwhile, when current is supplied to the coil, electrical interaction with the magnet is caused so that the rotor 400 can rotate. As the rotor 400 rotates, the shaft 500 may also rotate. Here, the shaft 500 may be supported by a bearing 700.

The rotor 400 may be disposed inside the stator 300. Further, the shaft 500 may be coupled with the central portion.

Rotor 400 may be formed by coupling magnets (not shown) to a rotor core (not shown). For example, the rotor 400 may be formed by disposing magnets on an outer circumferential surface of a rotor core.

Accordingly, the magnet forms a rotating magnetic field by the coil 320 wound on the stator 300. The magnets may be arranged such that the N-poles and the S-poles are alternately positioned in the circumferential direction based on the shaft 500.

Thus, the rotor 400 rotates due to the electrical interaction between the coil 320 and the magnets. Further, when the rotor 400 rotates, the shaft 500 rotates, so that the driving force of the motor 1 is generated.

Meanwhile, the rotor core of the rotor 400 may be manufactured by coupling a plurality of separate cores, or may be manufactured in the form of a single core of one cylinder.

The shaft 500 may be rotatably supported by a bearing 700 located in the housing 200 as shown in fig. 3.

The bus bar 600 may be disposed above the stator 300.

In addition, the bus bar 600 may be electrically connected to the coil 320 of the stator 300.

The bus bar 600 may include a bus bar body 610 and a plurality of terminals 620 arranged on the bus bar body 610. Here, the bus bar body 610 may be an annular molding material formed by injection molding. Further, one side of each of the terminals 620 may be electrically connected to the coil 320 of the stator 300. Further, the other side portion of each of the terminals 620, which is exposed to the outside, may be electrically connected to an external connector (not shown) and supplied with power.

As shown in fig. 2, the terminal 620 may pass through the second hole 112. Further, a portion of the terminal 620 may be exposed to the outside.

Fig. 10 is a view illustrating a process of assembling a rotor-cover assembly of a motor according to the first embodiment.

Referring to fig. 10, in the motor 1, a rotor-cover assembly may be installed when the stator 300 is disposed inside the housing 200. Here, the rotor-cover assembly may include a cover 100, a shaft 500 disposed at the center of the cover 100, a rotor 400 disposed at the outer side of the shaft 500, and a bearing 700 disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 500. As shown in fig. 3, an upper bearing 710 may be supported by the cover 100.

Here, the jig 2 may serve as a fixing means for supporting the rotor-cover assembly and setting the axial concentricity of the rotor-cover assembly. Here, the clamp 2 may include a first leg 3 and a second leg 4.

The end of the first leg 3 is disposed in the recess 122 so as to prevent the rotor-cover assembly from moving horizontally. Here, the second leg 4 may hold an upper side portion of the shaft 500.

Accordingly, the jig 2 can mount the rotor-cover assembly in the housing 200 without striking the inside of the housing 200.

Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a motor according to a second embodiment. Here, fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of fig. 3.

Hereinafter, in the description of the motor 1a according to the second embodiment, since the same components as those of the motor 1 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, detailed description of these components will be omitted.

Referring to fig. 11, a motor 1a according to the second embodiment may include a cover 100, a housing 200a disposed under the cover 100, a stator 300 disposed inside the housing 200a, a rotor 400 disposed inside the stator 300, a shaft 500 rotating together with the rotor 400, a bus bar 600 disposed above the stator 300, a bearing 700 disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft 500, and a cap 800 disposed under the housing 200 a.

In comparison with the motor 1 according to the first embodiment, the motor 1a according to the second embodiment may further include a hole formed in the bottom of the housing 200a and a cap 800 configured to cover the hole.

The case 200a is disposed under the cover 100.

The housing 200a may be formed to have a cylindrical shape. Further, the housing 200a may house therein the stator 300, the rotor 400, and the like.

Fig. 12 is a perspective view illustrating a housing of the motor of the second embodiment, and fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the housing of the motor according to the second embodiment.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, the housing 200a may include a housing plate portion 210a and a sidewall portion 220 extending upward from the housing plate portion 210 a. Further, the sidewall portion 220 may have a second protrusion 221 formed thereon to protrude inward.

The housing plate portion 210a may include: a plate-shaped body 211a, a hole 213 being formed in the center of the plate-shaped body 211 a; and a bulge portion 212, the bulge portion 212 being formed by a portion protruding from the body 211 a.

Here, the inner side of the ridge portion 212 may be arranged to be spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the hole 213 with a gap. Accordingly, the lower bearing 720 may be received in the second pocket portion P2 and supported by the second pocket portion P2.

Fig. 14 is a view illustrating a process of assembling a rotor-cover assembly of a motor according to a second embodiment.

Referring to fig. 14, in the motor 1a, a rotor-cover assembly may be installed when the stator 300 is disposed inside the housing 200 a. Here, the rotor-cover assembly may include a cover 100, a shaft 500 disposed at the center of the cover 100, a rotor 400 disposed outside the shaft 500, and a bearing 700 disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft 500. As shown in fig. 14, an upper bearing 710 may be supported by the cover 100.

Here, the jig 2a may serve as a fixing means for supporting the rotor-cover assembly and setting the axial concentricity of the rotor-cover assembly. Here, the clip 2a may include a first leg 3 and a third leg 5.

The end of the first leg 3 is disposed in the recess 122 so as to prevent the rotor-cover assembly from moving horizontally. Here, the third leg 5 may hold the lower side of the shaft 500. Here, an end of the third leg 5 may pass through the hole 213 and be coupled to a lower side of the shaft 500. For example, a coupling groove may be formed in the bottom end of the shaft 500, and the end of the third leg 5 may be coupled to the coupling groove.

Accordingly, when the jig 2a moves downward, the rotor-cover assembly may be disposed in the housing 200a without striking the inside of the housing 200 a.

When using the third leg 5 passing through the hole 213 and coupled to the lower side of the shaft 500, it is easier in terms of axial concentricity than when the rotor-cover assembly is mounted in the motor 1. Since the hole 213 is sealed using the cap 800, a process of applying a sealing member may be omitted in order to improve productivity of the motor 1 a.

The cap 800 may be provided to cover the hole 213.

Here, fig. 17 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of fig. 16. Here, the x-direction shown in fig. 17 represents a radial direction, and the y-direction represents an axial direction. Further, the axial direction and the radial direction are perpendicular to each other. Here, the axial direction may be a longitudinal direction of the shaft 1500.

Referring to fig. 16 to 18, a motor 1b according to the third embodiment may include a cover 1100, a housing 1200 disposed under the cover 1100, a stator 1300 disposed inside the housing 1200, a rotor 1400 disposed inside the stator 1300, a shaft 1500 rotating with the rotor 1400, a bus bar 1600 disposed above the stator 1300, and a bearing 1700 disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft 1500. Here, depending on the location, the bearing 1700 may include an upper bearing 1710 disposed on an upper portion of the shaft 1500 and a lower bearing 1720 disposed on a lower portion of the shaft 1500.

Here, the center C of the motor 1b may be the center C of the cover 1100, the housing 1200, the stator 1300, the rotor 1400, the shaft 1500, and the bus bar 1600 in consideration of the axial concentricity of the motor 1 b. Here, based on the center C, the inner side indicates a direction disposed toward the center C, and the outer side indicates a direction opposite to the inner side.

The cover 1100 and the housing 1200 may form the outside of the motor 1 b. Here, the housing 1200 may be formed to have a cylindrical shape with an opening on the top.

Accordingly, an accommodating space may be formed in the cover 1100 and the housing 1200 by coupling between the cover 1100 and the housing 1200. As shown in fig. 17, a stator 1300, a rotor 1400, a shaft 1500, and the like may be disposed in the accommodation space.

The cover 1100 may be disposed on an opening surface of the housing 1200, i.e., over the housing 1200, to cover the opening of the housing 1200.

Fig. 19 is a perspective view illustrating a cover of a motor according to a third embodiment, fig. 20 is a side view illustrating a cover of a motor according to a third embodiment, fig. 21 is a plan view illustrating a cover of a motor according to a third embodiment, and fig. 22 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a cover of a motor according to a third embodiment. Here, fig. 22 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 19.

Referring to fig. 19 and 22, the cover 1100 may include a plate-shaped cover part 1110 and a sidewall 1120 extending from the cover part 1110 in an axial direction. Here, the cover plate portion 1110 and the sidewall 1120 may be integrally formed.

The cover part 1110 may be formed to have a plate shape.

In the cover plate portion 1110, a first hole 1111 formed in the center, a plurality of second holes 1112, and at least two first grooves 1113 may be formed. Further, the cover plate portion 1110 may include a first pocket portion P1, the first pocket portion P1 being formed such that the center is recessed downward. Here, the first pocket portion P1 may be referred to as a cover pocket portion.

The shaft 1500 may be disposed within the first bore 1111. Here, the upper bearing 1710 may be disposed on an upper portion of the shaft 1500, and may be disposed in the first pocket portion P1. Accordingly, the cover plate portion 1110 may support the upper bearing 1710.

The terminals of the bus bar 1600 may be disposed within the second aperture 1112. Accordingly, when the bus bar 1600 is disposed on the stator 1300, when the cover 1100 is coupled to the housing 1200, the terminals of the bus bar 1600 pass through the second holes 1112 of the cap portion 1110 and are coupled to the second holes 1112 of the cap portion 1110, so that the position of the cover 1100 can be determined. As shown in fig. 19, three second holes 1112 may be formed in the cover portion 1110.

The first groove 1113 may be formed to be recessed in the axial direction on the top side of the deck portion 1110. Here, the first recess 1113 may include a first guide recess 1113A and a second guide recess 1113B. Further, the first guide groove 1113A may be disposed on a virtual straight line connecting the second guide groove 1113B to the center C of the cover 1100. For example, a first line L1, which is a virtual line passing through the centers of the two first guide grooves 1113, passes through the center C of the cover 1100. That is, at least two first grooves 1113 may be disposed collinearly with a first line L1, which is a virtual line passing through the center C of the cover 1100. Further, the first line L1 may be provided as an element for determining a coupling position of the bus bar 1600 with respect to the cover 1100.

The sidewall 1120 may protrude downward from the bottom surface of the cover part 1110. For example, the side wall 1120 may protrude downward from an edge of the cover portion 1110. Here, the sidewall 1120 may be formed to have a cylindrical shape. Further, the sidewall 1120 may be formed to have a two-stage shape having different outer diameters at the top and bottom. Referring to fig. 19 and 20, the sidewall 1120 includes an upper region adjacent to the cap plate portion 1110, a lower region below the upper region, and a stepped region formed between the upper region and the lower region. A plurality of third grooves 1125 may be formed in the upper region.

Referring to fig. 20, the side wall 1120 may include a second groove 1122 formed to be recessed at a lower end of the side wall 1120.

As shown in fig. 20, a second groove 1122 may be formed at a lower end of the side wall 1120 to be coupled to a second protrusion 1221 of the housing 1200. Accordingly, when the cover 1100 and the housing 1200 are coupled, the second groove 1122 is coupled to the second protrusion 1221 so as to prevent movement in the rotational direction.

Here, the second groove 1122 may be formed to have a certain depth D based on the axial direction, and the size of the motor 1b in the axial direction is reduced by the depth D.

Fig. 23 is a perspective view illustrating another example of a cover provided on a motor according to the third embodiment, fig. 24 is a side view illustrating another example of a cover provided on a motor according to the third embodiment, fig. 25 is a bottom view illustrating another example of a cover provided on a motor according to the third embodiment, and fig. 26 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another example of a cover provided on a motor according to the third embodiment. Here, fig. 26 is a cross section taken along line C-C of fig. 23.

Referring to fig. 23 to 26, a cover 1100a according to another example may include a plate-shaped cover part 1110 and a sidewall 1120a extending from the cover part 1110 in an axial direction. Here, the cover 1100a is different from the cover 1100 according to one embodiment in that the side wall 1120a has a third groove 1125 formed therein. Further, the cover 1100a according to another embodiment may be provided on the motor 1b instead of the cover 1100 according to one embodiment.

To allow a fixture, such as a clamp, to hold the cover 1100a, a third recess 1125 may be formed in the sidewall 1120a. Accordingly, the end of the clamp may be disposed in the third groove 1125 so that the clamp may press the cover 1100 a. Further, the clamp moves the cover 1100a toward the housing 1200 to couple the cover 1100a to the housing 1200.

At least three third grooves 1125 may be concavely formed in the outer circumferential surface 1121 of the sidewall 120. In order to prevent the horizontal movement of the cover 1100a, at least three third grooves 1125 may be arranged at preset intervals. Accordingly, an angle formed between virtual lines connecting the third groove 1125 to the center of the cover 1100a is 120 degrees.

Here, three third grooves 1125 are shown as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 25, four third grooves 1125 may be arranged. Here, the third groove 1125 may be arranged to be rotationally symmetrical based on the center C of the cover 1100 a.

That is, since the third grooves 1125 are disposed on the same level, the third grooves 1125 may be disposed to be rotationally symmetrical based on the center C of the cover 1100 a. Accordingly, the fixing means prevents the horizontal movement of the cover 1100a by applying a certain level of force to the outer circumferential surface 1121 of the cover 1100a through the third groove 1125.

Referring to fig. 26, the third groove 1125 may be disposed to be spaced apart from the end of the sidewall 1120a by a certain first distance d1. Further, the third groove 1125 may be disposed at a corner where the cover plate portion 1110 and the sidewall 1120a meet each other, for example, at a certain second distance d2 from the bottom surface of the cover plate portion 1110.

Here, the first distance d1 is greater than the second distance d2. Accordingly, the cover 1100a can secure rigidity corresponding to the force applied to the third groove 1125. For example, a majority of the force applied to the cover 1100a in the horizontal direction by the fixture is supported by the cover plate portion 1110.

The third groove 1125 may be formed by pressing one region of the sidewall 1120a in a radial direction by a pressing process or the like. Here, the first protrusion 1124 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface 1123 of the sidewall 1120a to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface 1123 of the sidewall 1120a due to the applied pressure. That is, the third groove 1125 and the first protrusion 1124 may be simultaneously formed on the cover 1100 by the applied pressure.

As shown in fig. 26, the inner surface 1124a of the first protrusion 1124 may be formed to be inclined at an angle θ based on the axial direction by the applied pressure. Here, the inner surface 1124a of the first protrusion 1124 may be formed to be inclined upward. Accordingly, the inclined surface 1125a of the third groove 1125 may also be formed to be inclined upward.

Accordingly, the load applied to the third groove 1125 by the fixing means may be directed toward the cover plate portion 1110 by the difference between the first distance d1 and the second distance d2, and further directed toward the cover plate portion 1110 by the inclined surface 1125a of the third groove 1125.

Here, by way of example and not limitation, the cover 1100a includes a third groove 1125. For example, similar to the cover 1100 according to one embodiment, the third groove 1125 may be removed from the cover 1100a in consideration of the manufacturing process and interruption of the third groove 1125 caused by the shape of the bus bar 1600 disposed inside the cover 1100.

The housing 1200 is disposed under the cover 1100.

Here, the housing 1200 may be formed to have a cylindrical shape. Further, the housing 1200 may house therein the stator 1300, the rotor 1400, and the like. Here, various modifications may be made to the shape or material of the housing 1200. For example, the case 1200 may be formed of a metal material that can well withstand high temperatures.

Fig. 27 is a perspective view illustrating a housing of a motor according to a third embodiment, and fig. 28 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a housing of a motor according to a third embodiment.

Referring to fig. 27 and 28, the housing 1200 may include a housing plate portion 1210 and a sidewall portion 1220 extending upward from the housing plate portion 1210.

The case plate portion 1210 may include a plate-shaped body 1211 and a bulge portion 1212 formed by a portion protruding from the body 1211.

The raised portion 1212 may have an annular shape when viewed from above. Here, the bump portion 1212 may be formed by pressing the bottom of the body 1211. As shown in fig. 24, the case plate portion 1210 may be formed to have an uneven shape due to the bulge portion 1212.

Since the bulge portion 1212 is arranged to be spaced apart from the center C of the body 1211 in the radial direction, the inner side of the bulge portion 1212 may be formed with the second pocket portion P2. The second pocket P2 may be referred to herein as a housing pocket.

Further, the lower bearing 1720 may be accommodated in the second pocket portion P2. Here, a washer may be provided under the lower bearing 1720.

As shown in FIG. 28, the raised portion 1212 may include a curved surface 1212a formed with a curvature of 1/R. Here, the curved surface 1212a may be formed at an inner corner of the bump portion 1212.

When the lower bearing 1720 is inserted into the second pocket portion P2, the curved surface 1212a may guide the insertion of the lower bearing 1720. Accordingly, the curved surface 1212a may minimize impact caused by a collision with the lower bearing 1720.

The sidewall portion 1220 may extend in an axial direction from a top surface of the case plate portion 1210. Here, the sidewall portion 1220 may protrude upward from an edge of the case plate portion 1210.

Meanwhile, the side wall portion 1220 may be formed thereon with a second protrusion 1221 protruding inward from an inner surface of the side wall portion 1220. Accordingly, the housing 1200 may include a second protrusion 1221 protruding inward. For example, the second protrusions 1221 may be formed to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface 1222 of the side wall portion 1220.

Here, the second protrusions 1221 may be arranged at preset intervals along the circumferential direction. Accordingly, the second protrusions 1221 are coupled to the second grooves 1122 forming the side walls 1120 of the cover 1100. Accordingly, the top surface 1221a of the second protrusion 1221 performs a position guide function to mount the cover 1100 in a preset position.

The second protrusions 1221 may be formed by pressing one region of the side wall portion 1220 in the radial direction. For example, the second protrusions 1221 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface 1222 of the side wall portion 1221 to protrude from the inner circumferential surface 1222 of the side wall portion 1221 due to the applied pressure.

The stator 1300 may be supported by an inner circumferential surface of the housing 1200. Further, the stator 1300 is disposed at the outer side of the rotor 1400. That is, the rotor 1400 may be disposed inside the stator 1300.

Referring to fig. 17, the stator 1300 may include a stator core 1310, a coil 1320 wound on the stator core 1310, and an insulator 1330 disposed between the stator core 1310 and the coil 1320. Here, the coil 1320 may be a wire whose outer circumferential surface is coated.

A coil 1320 forming a rotating magnetic field may be wound on the stator core 1310. Here, the stator core 1310 may be formed as one core or by coupling a plurality of divided cores.

The stator core 1310 may include a plurality of plates having a thin steel plate shape and stacked one on top of another, but is not limited thereto. For example, stator core 1310 may be formed as a single article.

Stator core 1310 may include a cylindrical yoke (not shown) and a plurality of teeth (not shown).

Here, the teeth may be arranged to protrude from the yoke in a radial direction (x-direction) based on the center C of the stator core 1310. Further, the plurality of teeth may be arranged to be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the yoke. Thus, slots may be formed between the teeth.

Meanwhile, the teeth may be arranged to face the magnets of the rotor 1400. Further, a coil 1320 is wound on each of the teeth.

Insulator 1330 insulates stator core 1310 from coil 1320. Accordingly, an insulator 1330 may be disposed between the stator core 1310 and the coil 1320.

Accordingly, the coil 1320 may be wound on the stator core 1310 on which the insulator 1330 is disposed.

Meanwhile, when current is supplied to the coil 1320, electrical interaction with the magnet is caused so that the rotor 1400 may rotate. As rotor 1400 rotates, shaft 1500 may also rotate. Here, the shaft 1500 may be supported by a bearing 1700.

The rotor 1400 may be disposed inside the stator 1300. Further, the shaft 1500 may be coupled with a central portion.

Rotor 1400 may be formed by coupling magnets (not shown) to a rotor core (not shown). For example, the rotor 1400 may be formed by disposing magnets on an outer circumferential surface of a rotor core.

Thus, the magnets form a rotating magnetic field through the coils 1320 wound on the stator 1300. The magnets may be arranged such that the N-poles and S-poles are alternately positioned in the circumferential direction based on the shaft 1500.

Thus, the rotor 1400 rotates due to the electrical interaction between the coils 1320 and the magnets. Further, when the rotor 1400 rotates, the shaft 1500 rotates, so that the driving force of the motor 1b is generated.

Meanwhile, the rotor core of the rotor 1400 may be manufactured by coupling a plurality of separate cores, or may be manufactured in the form of a single core of one cylinder.

As shown in fig. 17, the shaft 1500 may be rotatably supported in the cover 1100 and the housing 1200 by a bearing 700.

The bus bar 1600 may be disposed above the stator 1300.

In addition, the bus bar 1600 may be electrically connected to the coil 1320 of the stator 1300.

Fig. 29 is a perspective view illustrating a bus bar of a motor according to a third embodiment, and fig. 30 is a plan view illustrating a bus bar of a motor according to a third embodiment.

Referring to fig. 29 and 30, the bus bar 1600 may include a bus bar body 1610 and a plurality of terminals 1620 arranged on the bus bar body 1610. Here, the terminals 1620 may be disposed on the bus bar body 1610 by insert injection molding.

The bus bar body 1610 may be an annular molding material formed by injection molding.

Referring to fig. 29 and 30, the bus bar body 1610 may include at least two fourth grooves 1611 concavely formed on the top surface. Herein, the fourth groove 1611 formed in the bus bar body 1610 may be referred to as a groove of the bus bar body 1610 or a bus bar body groove.

The two fourth grooves 1611 may be arranged collinearly with a second line L2, the second line L2 being a virtual line passing through the center C of the bus bar 1600. For example, the second line L2, which is a virtual line passing through the centers of the two fourth grooves 1611, passes through the center C of the bus bar 1600.

Here, the second line L2 may be provided as an element that determines the coupling position of the cover 1100 with respect to the bus bar 1600 by the arrangement relation with the first line L1 described above.

Referring to fig. 18, the first line L1 and the second line L2 may be arranged parallel to each other.

For example, when the stator 1300 and the bus bar 1600 are arranged inside the housing 1200, the first line L1 determines a position of the housing 1200 to be coupled with the cover 1100. That is, when the cover 1100 and the housing 1200 are coupled to each other, the first groove 1113 of the cover portion 1110 and the fourth groove 1611 of the bus bar 1600 may serve to align the positions of the cover portion 1110 and the bus bar 1600 and limit movement of the bus bar 1600.

Herein, an assembly in which the stator 1300 and the bus bar 1600 are assembled in the housing 1200 in which the lower bearing 1720 is disposed may be referred to as a housing assembly. Thus, the assembly position of the housing assembly can be determined based on the first line L1.

Further, the rotor-cover assembly may be mounted in the housing assembly. Here, the rotor-cover assembly may be coupled to the housing assembly while the first and second lines L1 and L2 are maintained in a state of being parallel to each other. Here, the rotor-cover assembly may include a cover 1100, a shaft 1500 disposed at the center of the cover 1100, a rotor 1400 disposed outside the shaft 1500, and an upper bearing 1710 disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 1500.

Accordingly, in the motor 1b, when the housing assembly is arranged based on the first line L1 and when the second line L2 is maintained in a state parallel to the first line L1, the position of the assembly cover 1100 and the housing 1200 may be determined by coupling the rotor-cover assembly 1100 to the housing assembly 1200.

Here, the housing assembly may be coupled to the rotor-cover assembly using a fixing device such as a jig. Further, the motor 1b may include a sensor (not shown) to sense whether the first line L1 and the second line L2 are parallel to each other and adjust the first line L1 and the second line L2 to be parallel to each other. Here, since the first and second lines L1 and L2 are virtual lines, the sensor may sense the first and fourth grooves 1113 and 1611 to maintain the first and second lines L1 and L2 in a state of being parallel to each other.

As an example, but not limited thereto, the motor 1b may be maintained in a state where the first line L1 and the second line L2 are parallel to each other using a sensor. For example, without an additional sensor, the position of the fixture may be used to determine the position for holding the housing assembly and the rotor-cover assembly, and the position of the fixture may be adjusted to a preset position such that the first line L1 and the second line L2 remain parallel to each other.

Referring to fig. 17, first groove 1113 may be disposed farther inward in the radial direction than fourth groove 1611. As shown in fig. 17, a virtual third line L3 passing through the center of the first groove 1113 in the axial direction may be disposed further inward than a virtual fourth line L4 passing through the center of the fourth groove 1611 in the axial direction. Here, the third line L3 and the fourth line L4 may be arranged in parallel with a virtual line passing through the center C in the axial direction.

Thus, in the motor 1b, a sensing device (not shown) capable of sensing the positions of the first recess 1113 and the fourth recess 1611 in the axial direction, and the arrangement positions of the first recess 113 and the fourth recess 1611 arranged to be spaced outwardly from the first recess 1113 may be used to determine whether the position at which the cover 1100 is coupled with the housing 1200 is proper or improper. Here, the first groove 1113 and the fourth groove 1611 may be arranged to overlap each other in the axial direction (vertical direction). However, in view of false identification of the sensing device, only some of the first grooves 1113 and the fourth grooves 161 of the first grooves 1113 and the fourth grooves 1611 may overlap or be arranged to be spaced apart.

Meanwhile, one side of each of the terminals 1620 may be electrically connected to the coil 1320 of the stator 1300. Further, the other side portion of each of the terminals 1620, which is exposed to the outside, may be electrically connected to an external connector (not shown) and supply power to the coil 1320.

Referring to fig. 16, the terminal 1620 may pass through the second hole 1112. Accordingly, a portion of the terminal 1620 may be exposed to the outside based on the cover 1100.

Fig. 31 is a view illustrating a process of assembling a rotor-cover assembly of a motor according to a third embodiment. Here, the cover provided in the rotor-cover assembly may include a third groove 1125.

Referring to fig. 31, in the motor 1b, a rotor-cover assembly may be installed when the stator 1300 is disposed inside the housing 1200. Here, the rotor-cover assembly may include a cover 1100a, a shaft 1500 disposed at the center of the cover 1100a, a rotor 1400 disposed at the outside of the shaft 1500, and an upper bearing 1710 disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 1500.

The clamp 2 can serve here as a fastening device which supports the rotor-cover assembly and sets the axial concentricity of the rotor-cover assembly. Here, the clamp 2 may include a first leg 3 and a second leg 4.

The end of the first leg 3 is disposed in the third groove 1125 so as to prevent the rotor-cover assembly from moving horizontally. Here, the second leg 4 may hold an upper side portion of the shaft 1500. Thus, the jig 2 can position the rotor-cover assembly inside the housing 1200 without striking the inside of the housing 1200.

Additionally, the clamp 2 may include a third leg 5, the third leg 5 having an end disposed in the first recess 1113. Thus, the third leg 5 may be coupled to the first groove 1113 so as to allow the cover 1100 or 1100a to maintain a position of the first line L1 parallel to the second line L2 horizontal.
